Senior Brother Visits My Dreams Every Night

Zhou Shutong, a blade cultivator from Luoxue Peak of Fenghu Sword Mountain, declares that she will challenge Shang Xuanzhi, the senior disciple of Changsheng Peak, at the inner sect's once-every-three-years immortal examination.

The red-robed blade cultivator cannot see through the array cultivator's techniques, and leaves defeated.

Everyone in the sect sighs. Luoxue Peak is probably finished. Its senior guardian elder fell in love with an abandoned disciple of the demonic sect, a forbidden relationship that forced him into hiding.

The next generation is no better: Luoxue Peak's head disciple, Zhou Shutong's senior sister, eloped with the demonic sect's leader and never returned.

Now there's just one lone disciple left, picking fights and showing off, but lacking skill.

Zhou Shutong returns with her blade, her willow-shaped brows furrowed. She had meant to dazzle everyone with a single strike, but instead it was her senior brother's array formation that made a name for itself.

That night, her senior brother appears in her dream, still wearing his daytime clothes and standing there, obedient and well-behaved.

Oh no, she's developed a heart demon.

(Short story, written to get a feel for it.)
